No, but I think they are going to run Hilary anyway.

I just left a restaurant sooner than I would have liked because the table next to me was occupied by six obese, illiterate sub humans that spent the entire time badmouthing Trump. Not a fact or figure was ever uttered. The female proudly proclaimed she got all her information from TMZ. This garbage can vote.

All the other BS aside, this is all the next election is going to come down to.

Will this nation embrace an OUTRIGHT socialist agenda of Bernie or Warren? And will they give credence to the nonsense that AOC is spewing....to give her a platform until she’s old enough to run.

Whether Trump is loved or hated, I think “average” voters will be making that choice. “I hate Trump, but do I really want to move this country to the Socialist left?” I think that will go through a lot of peoples minds. They may stay home.

I’m not certain because the hatred of Trump is just as much if not more as the GOP/Right’s hatred of Hillary. So they may still be motivated. But they have no one to vote for if Biden gets the boot. He’s REALLY their answer. Because he doesn’t look like a Socialist loon. But they may destroy him long before anyone gets the chance to vote for him.

No, but if folks don’t take the public schools back, it will only be a matter of time.

If Warren were elected, there would be an almost immediate flight of wealthy Americans to tax haven foreign countries. Businesses would be sold, investments liquidated and the price of gold and silver would soar. Wall Street would have a meltdown as would banks. By Inauguration Day 2021 the US economy would be free fall. Implementing even parts of the Green New Deal would cause energy costs to skyrocket. I would expect Warren to push for gun confiscation of “assault weapons” and government control over Internet content and muzzle talk radio and cable news. By the the end of Warrens first term the US would start to resemble East Germany.

“The left is simply waiting for those like me to die off.”

Very true.

They’ve tried to have patience since the 1950’s, but it’s running low, and their Millenial socialists what things NOW!

“And Warren speaks spot-on to that constituency.”

Yep. Even though capitalism is the superior system, unrestrained capitalism presents serious problems.

A subset of this is the unrestrained free trade issue. I spent a lot of time here, being insulted because I thought unrestrained “free trade” with the likes of the Chinese and the Indians was not helping Americans.

I agree, there are lots of Americans who aren’t socialist, but have an axe to grind against some business sector. Republicans are doing what Republicans have always done, failing to educate, failing to deliver a coherent message, and cowering from the media.

This isn’t going to end well.

No amount of Nose Holding could prevent that, as we well know.

And now Willard is delusion-ally plotting to “primary” President Trump.

Damn him.

Nobody has much noticed, but Tom Steyer, a multi-billionaire with leftist leanings, is now able to gain access to the debate stage, almost certainly to take over the position now practically vacated by the falling fortunes of Joe Biden. Steyer can certainly pour a LOT of his own money into the campaign at this point, once he has a voice in the debate, and should he have the good fortune to parlay this opportunity into a nomination, or at least a strong voice on the Democrat platform at the national convention, all the other players become moot.

MASSIVE vote fraud is Trump’s ONLY opponent in 2020.

True, but Steyer is a kook. He is sure to alienate anyone who isn’t already a far-left Socialist Environut. The kind of voter Biden was going after in Pennsylvania surely won’t be impressed.

America is already a quasi-socialist country and a “soft” tyranny.

“By the the end of Warren’s first term the US would start to resemble East Germany.”

A hundred million gun owners will beg to disagree.

East German communists rode to power on Soviet tanks. Warrenistas will ride in on Priuses.

Both regimes use informants to seize and hold onto power. But here, snitches will get ditches.
